With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 209 The Holy Eyes Reveal Their Truth! A Turning Point in Fate! (5k-word long chapter)

"Understood, sir, please be careful."

After saying that, Meng Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he swung his Green Dragon Claw at the opponent.

Meanwhile, Luo Guanyun had already arrived at the foot of Mount Li at top speed.

I had planned to fly straight in, but then I remembered Yang Huan's threatening voice on the other end of the phone.
Just as he was about to approach, the gatekeeper came out and stopped him.

"Sir, I am Luo Guanyun, the owner of the Infinite Martial Arts Academy."

The old man pointed to the regulations on the wall, and he looked in that direction.

No one may trespass on university grounds without a pass.

"Please show me your pass."

“Your principal sent me, Principal Yang.”

The gatekeeper's expression softened, and he said politely:

"If you don't have a pass, we need to check it first. Please wait a moment, Director Luo."

"Please hurry, I need to get to the principal's office to sign a contract for my apprentice."

The main problem was the half-hour time limit. Recalling how Professor Yang had dealt with him when he was studying at the main campus, Master Luo panicked a little.
Men are boys until they die; Yang Huan may appear gentle on the surface, but he is ruthless in secret.

The old man turned his head and glanced at it, then asked:

"Oh? Who is your apprentice?"

"Meng Chuan, that kid who comes to your pre-college class every day to audit classes."

The old man suddenly realized that this was the boy's master.

"Then go in. Follow this path, turn left at the end and go up to the roof."

"."

Luo Guanyun shook his head and laughed as he walked.

"I'm a grandmaster of martial arts, I don't have as much face as this brat."

A moment later, looking up, Luo Guanyun saw the three large characters "Hongwu Tower" printed on the top of the building and stepped up.

Meanwhile, Yang Huan's gentle voice came from the principal's office.

"It's alright. Although I don't practice hard skills, I've already broken through my limits five times, and my physical strength is far beyond your comprehension. Feel free to try it."

Meng Chuanxin gritted his teeth and said:
"I've offended Principal Yang! Yaksha Probes the Sea!"

He reached out and wrapped his arm around Yang Huan's upper arm, locking it tightly. His forearm pressed against Yang Huan's neck, and then he jumped up to exert force and press down.

Luo Guanyun entered the room just in time to witness this horrifying scene, which gave him a heart attack.

"Meng Chuan! What are you doing!"

Three minutes later, Meng Chuan and Luo Guanyun sat side by side, their hands neatly placed on their laps, listening to Yang Huan's teachings.

"Luo Guanyun, you're listening in too? It's been a long time since you've had a class, hasn't it?"

"Yes, Professor Yang, I haven't been able to sleep well at night since I left the Southwest Associated University decades ago and haven't listened to your lectures."

Seeing his master nodding so quickly, Meng Chuan couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Even a usually domineering master has people he's afraid of.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Huan said solemnly:

“In the old days, practicing martial arts was a luxury for ordinary families. Not to mention the medicinal herbs for nourishing the body, they couldn’t even afford the apprenticeship fee.”

So what could be done? The only solution was to eavesdrop over the wall, secretly learning each move and combining them into a complete set of boxing techniques.

This is what's called "unorthodox methods"—if you have enough talent, you can still achieve great things.

Yang Huan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and continued speaking:

"Next, let's get to the main point. If we break down all the moves and routines of boxing, each punch and each move can be categorized into four levels: form, shape, rhythm, and spirit."

Imitation is the lowest level, like drawing a tiger from a cat. Martial arts emphasizes being grounded and practical; if you can't even draw a cat, forget about drawing a tiger.

Imitation is a step further; when you draw an angry cat, it can have a hint of tigerish intent, with sharp claws and teeth, making it more like a tiger cub. Then you can gradually expand it into a tiger.

"De Yun" signifies that you have developed your own understanding and insights into why the moves and techniques are the way they are, and you have made adjustments to better suit yourself, resulting in a unique tiger drawing.

Meng Chuan suddenly understood what Principal Yang meant.

Regarding the "Yaksha Probing the Sea" technique, I have only grasped its form, not its essence.

"As for the final [Divine Realm], just listen to it and don't bother to think about it."

This means that he is not just a technique or routine, but the culmination, promoter, and even creator of the entire fighting style.

If you really reach this stage, you will no longer be bound by boxing routines, but will do whatever you want, and you can use whatever you want to fight with great power in every move.

"Only when fists have no moves can one see the Way; only when one's spirit encompasses the universe can one know emptiness." This is the opening line from your high school textbook: "Martial arts, through which one can attain enlightenment and realize the Way."

Meng Chuan nodded. Such a level of understanding was still too far from his own, and he could only listen to it briefly.

Principal Yang continued:
"As you just demonstrated those two techniques, the former is already in the form, but you still need to practice drawing diligently to outline the tiger's shape."

As for the latter's move of pressing my neck with a "Yaksha probing the sea" technique, you're still only at the imitation stage.

To truly master the art of mimicking the movements of a fist, one needs diligent practice, supplemented by mental visualization during daily cultivation of inner energy. Only then will one have a chance to achieve this.

This brings us to his weak point, Meng Chuan asked:
"Principal Yang, how exactly should I visualize it?"

"From my mind, I first used my mental power to outline the form, then, like coloring, I filled in the entire 'Yaksha Probing the Sea' pose, and then..."
As for the next two realms, you don't need to consider them for now.

Only martial artists can attempt to grasp the essence of rhythm. Taking the Xingyi School as an example, the realm of rhythm is similar to the "borrowing method".

The realm of divine attainment is even more ethereal, existing only in ancient texts and myths. It's a realm pursued by legendary figures, such as Zhang Sanfeng and other founders of great schools.

After Yang Huan finished speaking, Luo Guanyun immediately added:
"Chuan'er, Professor Yang is right. You can only consider these things when you reach the third level of martial arts master."

The method of borrowing is the theoretical basis of what I told you before: "changing the magnetic field with intention and altering reality with imagined scenarios."

"understood."

Meng Chuan nodded. What he had been discussing today were all branches of boxing techniques from the principles of martial arts, and they were all equally useful.

The master patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile:

"This is Principal Yang's teaching ability. I was captivated by his teaching when I was a student decades ago."

Master truly believes that his teaching ability is unparalleled throughout the entire Great Chu Academy.

Luo Guanyun, quick-witted as ever, seized the opportunity to flatter Yang Huan, who hadn't yet settled accounts with him.

Yang Huan glanced at it, then waved his hand and said:
"Really? After you've signed, Meng Chuan, you can go back now."

"Luo, stay a moment. Let's reminisce about the wonderful times we had in school."

Meng Chuan was somewhat moved that Principal Yang remembered their brief friendship on campus so clearly.

He left the time for Teacher Luo and Principal Yang, then quietly closed the door and left.

This is the deep and great bond between teacher and student, which needs no further explanation!

But what Meng Chuan didn't see was that Luo Guanyun's face remained stiff after he left.
"Click".

The door closed, and Yang Huan teased:

"Don't be nervous. You're Master Luo, after all. Do you think I'd hit you? Come sit down and let's talk."

Luo Guanyun scoffed, "You're a Venerable One, I'm just a lowly Grandmaster."

After he sat down, Yang Huan slowly sat back in his chair without saying a word.

Luo Guanyun was completely baffled.

After a moment, Yang Huan asked calmly:

What's the deal with that lightning seed inside you?

Upon hearing this, Luo Guanyun's expression turned serious!
Then he suddenly relaxed and said with a wry smile:
"As expected of the [Sacred Eyes Reveal Truth], it still couldn't escape Professor Yang's discerning eyes."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Huan, who was sitting opposite him, nodded slightly, and an inexplicable aura emanated from his body. Then, a thin crack appeared between his eyebrows and slowly stretched out to both sides.

In the blink of an eye, a closed vertical pupil grew out!
When closed, the eyelids, with their faint golden sheen, and the fine eyelashes are faintly visible.

The next moment, his pupils suddenly opened, and a dazzling crimson-gold light shone forth, radiating a blinding majesty like the breaking of the sun at dawn.

The third eye scanned Luo Guanyun thoroughly, looking him up and down.

It is precisely the super-system manifested quality that can perceive everything in the world—【Sacred Eyes Reveal Truth】.

"What is that resentment, and why is its quantity so enormous?"

Yang Huan cut to the chase, referring to the aggregate of resentment on Luo Guanyun's spiritual platform.

With such immense resentment, it would be extremely difficult for him not to commit some heinous act, and he worried that Luo Guanyun might have gone astray.

Subsequently, Luo Guanyun explained the ins and outs of the island nation's advancement to the Grandmaster level, but omitted the matter of the tortoise shell.

Yang Huan crossed his arms and closed all three eyes in deep thought.

Even though he had lived for over a hundred years, he had never heard of such a thing before, to be able to advance to the Grandmaster level in such a way.

After a moment, the eye between his eyebrows disappeared, and he spoke:
"It's a dead end. Try to avoid fighting others in the future. You must never use that lightning technique that you unleash through your primordial spirit."

Even the Grandmaster's True Qi should be used as sparingly as possible. Contrary to your expectations, the Thunder Seed within your body has not gone dormant; on the contrary, it has become more active than ever before.

However, because your advancement to Grandmaster was sudden, after the Thunder Seed was fed with the Demon Seed you mentioned, most of the [God] was used for the breakthrough.

"The strength of your lightning seed wasn't up to par, which is why it was suppressed and sealed by a higher-level [罡气]."

Luo Guanyun nodded. As expected of Venerable Yang, he understood everything about him without Luo Guanyun having to say a word.

He continued to ask:
"Professor Yang, can you see how long the seal within my body can last?" Yang Huan summoned his Sacred Eye between his eyebrows again, and swept it with golden light.

"I can't judge. My eye can only see the surface; it can't predict the future."

But as things stand now, you are relatively safe for the time being. It seems that as long as you don't actively cultivate or activate it, you can be sealed until death.

But your cultivation method is indeed strange. The lightning seed on your spiritual platform seems to be able to cultivate automatically, and the [divine] within your body is increasing on its own.

Because of its extremely small size, it is almost impossible to detect except through my own eyes.

If the "divine power" within you continues to grow, expanding to a certain extent, the seed of lightning might break free from its seal.

Luo Guanyun's expression shifted from joy to worry; even after all these decades, Professor Yang still spoke with heavy breathing.
Yang Huan scanned the area again, and for some reason, the third eye focused on his lower body for a long time.

Only when he felt a little uneasy did Yang Huan speak:

"Since you can't cultivate internal energy, I suggest you practice more external training methods to improve your body's resistance, and incidentally cultivate your essence."

I think the membrane inside Meng Chuan's body that protects the five internal organs is quite good and would be very suitable for you.

"Look at you, haven't you even learned the child's groin techniques?"

After saying that, Yang Huan slightly tilted his brow and glanced at that spot again for some reason.

".I studied."

Luo Guanyun was speechless. Did Professor Yang have some kind of divine eye or X-ray vision?
Yang Huan kindly reminded him:
"And that resentment in the mind must be eliminated in the future. Otherwise, if it is allowed to nourish the body, it will cause serious problems sooner or later."

"Rest assured, you should focus on calming your mind. Once Principal Sui reaches the Great Sage realm, I'll inquire whether there's a way to remove it from your body."

Sui Chunqiu is the foremost master of the Xingyi Fire element in his time; perhaps he has a way to burn it all without summoning the Thunder Seed.

Luo Guanyun thanked him repeatedly, but he was also worried about this and had no way to solve it.

Then, he told Yang Huan about Meng Chuan's question to see what the old professor thought.

"Sigh, this kid is too stubborn. He's definitely going to practice, and I'm worried I won't be able to stop him."

Luo Guanyun sighed.

After hearing Yang Huan's words today, he felt even more strongly that he couldn't let Meng Chuan practice thunder magic, lest he cause any trouble in the future.

When he first came into contact with Meng Chuan, he only thought from his own perspective about passing on the Thunder Technique.

Now, he has always tried to see things from Meng Chuan's perspective, hoping for a better future for him.

"I now feel that this ancestral thunder magic has many drawbacks, so it would be better to just cut it off now."

Luo Guanyun couldn't help but sigh.

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Huan realized that Luo Guanyun was a "good teacher".

Then he said:

"If you ask me, I am both a direct disciple and a direct master."

I think you can put all the issues out in the open, explain the pros and cons to Meng Chuan, and tell him everything about the Primordial Spirit Thunder Technique in detail.

As for how he made his choice, just respect it. As a teacher, all I ask is to have a clear conscience. Meng Chuan is stubborn, but don't be stubborn yourself.

"Should we let nature take its course?"

"Let nature take its course. Xiao Luo, my mentor Principal Sui once said something like that."

[Today's troubles stem from yesterday's insistence on things.] Isn't this exactly what you were telling me about when you initially insisted on using thunder magic?

Now you want Meng Chuan not to practice thunder magic, isn't that also forcing him?

Luo Guanyun lowered his head in acquiescence.

Yang Huan said, word by word:

"Including the relationship between master and apprentice, we should strive to improve our conduct and work ethic."

We should do everything a direct disciple should do with a responsible attitude. As for the outcome, that's beyond our control.

Let things take their natural course; that's in accordance with the way of Heaven.

Decades later, listening to Professor Yang's lectures again, Luo Guanyun felt a sense of enlightenment once more.

"Thank you, Teacher Yang. I understand. One shouldn't be too extreme in life and work. I will discuss it with Meng Chuan and let things take their course."

Yang Huan nodded, and then continued:
"Moreover, I think it's not entirely a bad thing that Meng Chuan is going to make your thunder technique the main internal skill for martial artists in the future."

Putting aside its immense power, there are plenty of other extraordinary martial arts techniques within the United Nations that are far more powerful than your thunder magic.

But I can see that this method focuses on cultivating the "spirit." You've just experienced a breakthrough, so you naturally understand that if you want to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top and become a Grandmaster, the most difficult hurdle is cultivating the "spirit."

Luo Guanyun gave a wry smile and said helplessly:
"No matter how powerful he is, I think he should listen to advice and not cultivate."

"If one's talent is exceptional enough, this method may actually be more beneficial for advancing to the Grandmaster level."

Luo Guanyun nodded silently. He wasn't unaware that Meng Chuan's [God] was inherently weak, but...
"Leaving aside the drawbacks of the Thunder Seed, its entanglement with demonic arts alone could cause trouble in the future!"

Finally, before leaving, he expressed his gratitude:
"Thank you for your guidance today, Professor Yang. I hope you will forgive me if I cause any trouble in the future."

Yang Huan waved his hand and said:
"Get lost. Go back and think about it some more."

"On the surface, the master and apprentice look exactly alike."

Yang Huan shook his head and chuckled to himself.

After Luo Guanyun left, he stood by the window, gazing into the distance, lost in thought.

"All things follow the way of heaven, gathered and scattered by the threads of fate, and going their separate ways by the rolling wheels of time."

The concept of destiny is extremely mysterious; even my discerning eye cannot see through it.

Those whose fortunes are in their own hands will always find a way to turn misfortune into blessing.

Yang Huan was filled with emotion. Today, this master and disciple pair made him feel the power of fate once again.

Despite never having met Meng Chuan and living far apart, Sui Chunqiu could still see his potential and decisively admitted him to the Master Class without examination.

With such a top-tier quality, why couldn't Yang Huan, with his "Sacred Eyes Reveal Truth" ability, see it?

Even at the very beginning, when Sui Chunqiu proposed exempting them from the examination, he hesitated.

It has nothing to do with rules. For martial artists who have broken through several limits, rules are nothing but bullshit; they themselves are the rules.

It's not that he couldn't see it, but rather that he saw it too clearly.
Weak innate spiritual power is a major disadvantage for those who aspire to become Grandmasters. Although Meng Chuan is currently full of vigor, he believes his chances of advancing in the future are slim.

Even those with normal mental strength will get stuck at the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top stage 99% of the time, let alone those who are weak in this area.

But Luo Guanyun's [Primordial Spirit Thunder Seed Technique] might truly be a turning point in Meng Chuan's fate.

Yang Huan gazed at the horizon, lost in thought, and murmured to himself:
"Those born with a lack of spirit may have abundant essence and energy; those born with a full spirit may have a lack of physical strength."

The meeting of Meng Chuan and Luo Guanyun, master and disciple, was surely an arrangement of fate.

Seeing that his master was about to be criticized, Meng Chuan went home first to share the good news after leaving the United Nations University.

That evening, at Hua Yun's home.

"Auntie, hasn't Uncle come back yet?"

"What's wrong? You're back. You're watching TV in your room."

Xue Na called Meng Yongzhi out of the room, and the two sat on the sofa, wondering what Meng Chuan wanted to do.

"Uncle and Aunt, I've been admitted to the Master Class of Beilian University without taking the entrance exam."

Afterwards, Meng Chuan showed the two elders the photos of the documents he had taken that day.

Two copies of the exemption document were prepared. Due to the special circumstances of Meng Chuan's admission, the original document could only be retrieved after the pre-admission list was announced.

"What can you understand?"

Meng Yongzhi took the phone from Xue Na and started examining it.

After a moment, the two were speechless for a long time, as if in a dream.

"So that means we don't need to take the martial arts exam at the end of July? We can just go straight to the university when it starts?"

Meng Chuan nodded.

“good good”

Meng Yongzhi's emotions were relatively stable. Although he was only at the third level, he still had a broad vision. Meng Chuan's talent would be sought after anywhere.

"Woo."

Xue Na was already crying with excitement. She didn't know anything else, she just knew that the top martial arts university could be entered without taking the exam, and Scorpion Tail was the only one!
His wife was losing control of her emotions, and Meng Yongzhi tried to comfort her.

See this scene.

Meng Chuan silently went up to the rooftop to practice his boxing, leaving the living room to his parents.

For him, being exempt from the exam was just a minor incident. He knew he could pass the exam on his own merit, it just saved him a lot of trouble.

Ultimately, it all comes down to who has the bigger fist; that's why they get this special treatment.

We should encourage each other and continue to move forward.

Meng Yongzhi, while holding his wife, turned around and called out:
"Chuan'er, tell your sister, and also the old principal of your Ping'an Middle School, he's a good person to you."

"it is good."

Attic roof.

Principal Zong:
"Good, good, good! I knew you could do it. You even got into the Master Class without taking the exam. You're really something now."

For someone like you who is admitted through a special admission process without examination, the Education Bureau will offer even greater rewards. You can keep the money for your martial arts training; your alma mater doesn't need your contributions for the time being.

*Ahem* Xiao Meng, when you become a grandmaster someday, just don't forget our Ping'an Middle School, okay? Come to the school to give a speech or something.
